5、signed．Sometimes a failure can be serious，such as when a tire blows out on an automobile traveling at high speed．On the other hand，a failure may be no more than a nuisance．An example is the loosening of the radiator hose

18、um-speed cams can be determined graphically using a large-scale layout．In general，the greater the cam speed and output load，the greater must be the precision with which the cam contour is machined．</p><p>　　

19、DESIGN PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS</p><p>　　The following design properties of materials are defined as they relate to the tensile test．</p><p>　　Static Strength． The strength of a part is the maxim

20、um stress that the part can sustain without losing its ability to perform its required function．Thus the static strength may be considered to be approximately equal to the proportional limit，since no plastic deformation

21、takes place and no damage theoretically is done to the material．</p><p>　　Stiffness． Stiffness is the deformation-resisting property of a material．The slope of the modulus line and，hence，the modulus of elast

22、icity are measures of the stiffness of a material．</p><p>　　Resilience． Resilience is the property of a material that permits it to absorb energy without permanent deformation．The amount of energy absorbed i

23、s represented by the area underneath the stress-strain diagram within the elastic region．</p><p>　　Toughness． Resilience and toughness are similar properties．However，toughness is the ability to absorb energy

24、 without rupture．Thus toughness is represented by the total area underneath the stress-strain diagram， as depicted in Figure 2．8b．Obviously，the toughness and resilience of brittle materials are very low and are approxima

25、tely equal．</p><p>　　Brittleness． A brittle material is one that ruptures before any appreciable plastic deformation takes place．Brittle materials are generally considered undesirable for machine components

26、because they are unable to yield locally at locations of high stress because of geometric stress raisers such as shoulders，holes，notches，or keyways．</p><p>　　Ductility． A ductility material exhibits a large

27、amount of plastic deformation prior to rupture．Ductility is measured by the percent of area and percent elongation of a part loaded to rupture．A 5%elongation at rupture is considered to be the dividing line between ducti

28、le and brittle materials．</p><p>　　Malleability． Malleability is essentially a measure of the compressive ductility of a material and，as such，is an important characteristic of metals that are to be rolled in

29、to sheets．</p><p>　　Hardness． The hardness of a material is its ability to resist indentation or scratching．Generally speaking，the harder a material，the more brittle it is and，hence，the less resilient．Also，t

30、he ultimate strength of a material is roughly proportional to its hardness．</p><p>　　Machinability． Machinability is a measure of the relative ease with which a material can be machined．In general，the harder

31、 the material，the more difficult it is to machine． </p><p>　　COMPRESSION AND SHEAR STATIC STRENGTH</p><p>　　In addition to the tensile tests，there are other types of static load testing that pro

32、vide valuable information．</p><p>　　Compression Testing． Most ductile materials have approximately the same properties in compression as in tension．The ultimate strength，however，can not be evaluated for comp

33、ression．As a ductile specimen flows plastically in compression，the material bulges out，but there is no physical rupture as is the case in tension．Therefore，a ductile material fails in compression as a result of deformati

34、on，not stress．</p><p>　　Shear Testing． Shafts，bolts，rivets，and welds are located in such a way that shear stresses are produced．A plot of the tensile test．The ultimate shearing strength is defined as the str

35、ess at which failure occurs．The ultimate strength in shear，however，does not equal the ultimate strength in tension．For example，in the case of steel，the ultimate shear strength is approximately 75% of the ultimate strengt

36、h in tension．This difference must be taken into account when shear stresses are encountered in ma</p><p>　　DYNAMIC LOADS</p><p>　　An applied force that does not vary in any manner is called a st

37、atic or steady load．It is also common practice to consider applied forces that seldom vary to be static loads．The force that is gradually applied during a tensile test is therefore a static load．</p><p>　　On

38、 the other hand，forces that vary frequently in magnitude and direction are called dynamic loads．Dynamic loads can be subdivided to the following three categories．</p><p>　　Varying Load． With varying loads，th

39、e magnitude changes，but the direction does not．For example，the load may produce high and low tensile stresses but no compressive stresses．</p><p>　　Reversing Load． In this case，both the magnitude and directi

40、on change．These load reversals produce alternately varying tensile and compressive stresses that are commonly referred to as stress reversals．</p><p>　　Shock Load． This type of load is due to impact．One exam

41、ple is an elevator dropping on a nest of springs at the bottom of a chute．The resulting maximum spring force can be many times greater than the weight of the elevator，The same type of shock load occurs in automobile spri

42、ngs when a tire hits a bump or hole in the road．</p><p>　　FATIGUE FAILURE-THE ENDURANCE LIMIT DIAGRAM</p><p>　　The test specimen in Figure 2.10a．，after a given number of stress reversals will ex

43、perience a crack at the outer surface where the stress is greatest．The initial crack starts where the stress exceeds the strength of the grain on which it acts．This is usually where there is a small surface defect，such a

44、s a material flaw or a tiny scratch．As the number of cycles increases，the initial crack begins to propagate into a continuous series of cracks all around the periphery of the shaft．The conception o</p><p>　　

45、This brings out an interesting fact．When actual machine parts fail as a result of static loads，they normally deform appreciably because of the ductility of the material.</p><p>　　Thus many static failures ca

46、n be avoided by making frequent visual observations and replacing all deformed parts．However，fatigue failures give to warning．Fatigue fail mated that over 90% of broken automobile parts have failed through fatigue．</p

47、><p>　　The fatigue strength of a material is its ability to resist the propagation of cracks under stress reversals．Endurance limit is a parameter used to measure the fatigue strength of a material．By definitio

48、n，the endurance limit is the stress value below which an infinite number of cycles will not cause failure．</p><p>　　Let us return our attention to the fatigue testing machine in Figure 2.9．The test is run as

49、 follows：A small weight is inserted and the motor is turned on．At failure of the test specimen，the counter registers the number of cycles N，and the corresponding maximum bending stress is calculated from Equation 2.5．The

50、 broken specimen is then replaced by an identical one，and an additional weight is inserted to increase the load．A new value of stress is calculated，and the procedure is repeated until failu</p><p>　　The rela

51、tionship depicted in Figure 2.14 is typical for steel，because the curve becomes horizontal as N approaches a very large number．Thus the endurance limit equals the stress level where the curve approaches a horizontal tang

52、ent．Owing to the large number of cycles involved，N is usually plotted on a logarithmic scale，as shown in Figure 2.14b．When this is done，the endurance limit value can be readily detected by the horizontal straight line．Fo

53、r steel，the endurance limit equals approximately 50%</p><p>　　The most common type of fatigue is that due to bending．The next most frequent is torsion failure，whereas fatigue due to axial loads occurs very s

54、eldom．Spring materials are usually tested by applying variable shear stresses that alternate from zero to a maximum value，simulating the actual stress patterns．</p><p>　　In the case of some nonferrous metals

55、，the fatigue curve does not level off as the number of cycles becomes very large．This continuing toward zero stress means that a large number of stress reversals will cause failure regardless of how small the value of st

56、ress is．Such a material is said to have no endurance limit．For most nonferrous metals having an endurance limit，the value is about 25% of the ultimate strength．</p><p>　　EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON YIELD STREN

57、GTH AND MODULUS OF ELASTICITY</p><p>　　Generally speaking，when stating that a material possesses specified values of properties such as modulus of elasticity and yield strength，it is implied that these value

58、s exist at room temperature．At low or elevated temperatures，the properties of materials may be drastically different．For example，many metals are more brittle at low temperatures．In addition，the modulus of elasticity and

59、yield strength deteriorate as the temperature increases．Figure 2.23 shows that the yield strength for mild steel</p><p>　　Figure 2.24 shows the reduction in the modulus of elasticity E for mild steel as the

60、temperature increases．As can be seen from the graph，a 30% reduction in modulus of elasticity occurs in going from room temperature to 1000oF．In this figure，we also can see that a part loaded below the proportional limit

61、at room temperature can be permanently deformed under the same load at elevated temperatures．</p><p>　　CREEP: A PLASTIC PHENOMENON</p><p>　　Temperature effects bring us to a phenomenon called cr

62、eep，which is the increasing plastic deformation of a part under constant load as a function of time．Creep also occurs at room temperature，but the process is so slow that it rarely becomes significant during the expected

63、life of the temperature is raised to 300oC or more，the increasing plastic deformation can become significant within a relatively short period of time．The creep strength of a material is its ability to resist creep，and cr

64、eep st</p><p>　　Since creep is a plastic deformation phenomenon，the dimensions of a part experiencing creep are permanently altered．Thus，if a part operates with tight clearances，the design engineer must accu

65、rately predict the amount of creep that will occur during the life of the machine．Otherwise，problems such binding or interference can occur． </p><p>　　Creep also can be a problem in the case where bolts are

66、used to clamp tow parts together at elevated temperatures．The bolts，under tension，will creep as a function of time．Since the deformation is plastic，loss of clamping force will result in an undesirable loosening of the bo

67、lted joint．The extent of this particular phenomenon，called relaxation，can be determined by running appropriate creep strength tests．</p><p>　　Figure 2.25 shows typical creep curves for three samples of a mil

68、d steel part under a constant tensile load．Notice that for the high-temperature case the creep tends to accelerate until the part fails．The time line in the graph (the x-axis) may represent a period of 10 years，the antic

69、ipated life of the product．</p><p><b>　　SUMMARY</b></p><p>　　The machine designer must understand the purpose of the static tensile strength test．This test determines a number of mec

70、hanical properties of metals that are used in design equations．Such terms as modulus of elasticity，proportional limit，yield strength，ultimate strength，resilience，and ductility define properties that can be determined fro

71、m the tensile test．</p><p>　　Dynamic loads are those which vary in magnitude and direction and may require an investigation of the machine part’s resistance to failure．Stress reversals may require that the a

72、llowable design stress be based on the endurance limit of the material rather than on the yield strength or ultimate strength．</p><p>　　Stress concentration occurs at locations where a machine part changes s

73、ize，such as a hole in a flat plate or a sudden change in width of a flat plate or a groove or fillet on a circular shaft．Note that for the case of a hole in a flat or bar，the value of the maximum stress becomes much larg

74、er in relation to the average stress as the size of the hole decreases．Methods of reducing the effect of stress concentration usually involve making the shape change more gradual．</p><p>　　Machine parts are

75、designed to operate at some allowable stress below the yield strength or ultimate strength．This approach is used to take care of such unknown factors as material property variations and residual stresses produced during

76、manufacture and the fact that the equations used may be approximate rather that exact．The factor of safety is applied to the yield strength or the ultimate strength to determine the allowable stress．</p><p>

77、　　Temperature can affect the mechanical properties of metals．Increases in temperature may cause a metal to expand and creep and may reduce its yield strength and its modulus of elasticity．If most metals are not allowed t

78、o expand or contract with a change in temperature，then stresses are set up that may be added to the stresses from the load．This phenomenon is useful in assembling parts by means of interference fits．A hub or ring has an

81、有時一次零件的故障或者失效可能是很嚴(yán)重的一件事情，比如，當(dāng)一輛汽車正在高速行駛的時候，突然汽車的輪胎發(fā)生爆炸等。另一方面，一個零件發(fā)生故障也可能只是一件微不足道的小事，只是給你造成了一點小麻煩。一個例子是在一個汽車?yán)鋮s系統(tǒng)里的暖氣裝置軟管的松動。后者發(fā)生的這次故障造成的結(jié)果通常只不過是一些暖氣裝置里冷卻劑的損失，是一種很容易被發(fā)現(xiàn)并且被改正的情況。</p><p>　　能夠被零件進(jìn)行吸收的載荷是相當(dāng)重要的。一般說

82、來，與靜載重相比較，有兩個相反方向的動載荷將會引起更大的問題，因此，疲勞強(qiáng)度必須被考慮。另一個關(guān)鍵是材料是可延展性的還是脆性的。例如，脆的材料被認(rèn)為在存在疲勞的地方是不能夠被使用的。</p><p>　　很多人錯誤的把一個零件發(fā)生故障或者失效理解成這樣就意味著一個零件遭到了實際的物理破損。無論如何，一名設(shè)計工程師必須從一個更廣泛的范圍來考慮和理解變形是究竟如何發(fā)生的。一種具有延展性的材料，在破裂之前必將發(fā)生很大程

83、度的變形。發(fā)生了過度的變形，但并沒有產(chǎn)生裂縫，也可能會引起一臺機(jī)器出毛病，因為發(fā)生畸變的零件會干擾下一個零件的移動。因此，每當(dāng)它不能夠再履行它要求達(dá)到的性能的時候，一個零件就都算是被毀壞了（即使它的表面沒有被損毀）。有時故障可能是由于兩個兩個相互搭配的零件之間的不正常的磨擦或者異常的振動引起的。</p><p>　　故障也可能是由一種叫蠕變的現(xiàn)象引起的，這種現(xiàn)象是指金屬在高溫下時一種材料的塑性流動。此外，一個零件

85、<b>　　——變形</b></p><p><b>　　——磨損</b></p><p><b>　　——腐蝕</b></p><p><b>　　——振動</b></p><p><b>　　——環(huán)境破壞</b></p>

87、從動件。通過使用凸輪，一個簡單的輸入動作可以被修改成幾乎可以想象得到的任何輸出運動。常見的一些關(guān)于凸輪應(yīng)用的例子有：</p><p>　　——凸輪軸和汽車發(fā)動機(jī)工程的裝配</p><p><b>　　——專用機(jī)床</b></p><p><b>　　——自動電唱機(jī)</b></p><p><b

89、例的圖形表示出來。一般說來，凸輪的速度和輸出負(fù)載越大，凸輪的輪廓在被床上被加工時就一定要更加精密。</p><p><b>　　材料的設(shè)計屬性</b></p><p>　　當(dāng)他們與抗拉的試驗有關(guān)時，材料的下列設(shè)計特性被定義如下。</p><p>　　靜強(qiáng)度：一個零件的強(qiáng)度是指零件在不會失去它被要求的能力的前提下能夠承受的最大應(yīng)力。因此靜強(qiáng)度可以

90、被認(rèn)為是大約等于比例極限，從理論上來說，我們可以認(rèn)為在這種情況下，材料沒有發(fā)生塑性變形和物理破壞。</p><p>　　剛度：剛度是指材料抵抗變形的一種屬性。這條斜的模數(shù)線以及彈性模數(shù)是一種衡量材料的剛度的一種方法。</p><p>　　彈性：彈性是指零件能夠吸收能量但并沒有發(fā)生永久變形的一種材料的屬性。吸收的能量的多少可以通過下面彈性區(qū)域內(nèi)的應(yīng)力圖表來描述出來。</p>&

91、lt;p>　　韌性：韌性和彈性是兩種相似的特性。無論如何，韌性是一種可以吸收能量并且不會發(fā)生破裂的能力。因此可以通過應(yīng)力圖里面的總面積來描述韌性，就像用圖2.8 b 描繪的那樣。顯而易見，脆性材料的韌性和彈性非常低，并且大約相等。</p><p>　　脆性：一種脆性的材料就是指在任何可以被看出來的塑性變形之前就發(fā)生破裂的材料。脆性的材料一般被認(rèn)為不適合用來做機(jī)床的零部件，因為當(dāng)遇到由軸肩，孔，槽，或者鍵槽等

92、幾何應(yīng)力集中源引起的高的應(yīng)力時，脆性材料是無法來產(chǎn)生局部屈服的現(xiàn)象以適應(yīng)高的應(yīng)力環(huán)境的。</p><p>　　延展性：一種延展性材料會在破裂之前表現(xiàn)出很大程度上的塑性變形現(xiàn)象。延展性是通過可延展的零件在發(fā)生破裂前后的面積和長度的百分比來測量的。一個在發(fā)生破裂的零件，其伸長量如果為5%，則認(rèn)為該伸長量就是可延展性和脆性材料分界線。</p><p>　　可鍛性：從根本上來說是指材料的一種在承受

93、擠壓或壓縮是可以發(fā)生塑性變形的能力，同時，它也是一種在金屬被滾壓成鋼板時所需金屬的重要性能。</p><p>　　硬度：一種材料的硬度是指它抵抗擠壓或者拉伸它的能力。一般說來，材料越硬，它的脆性也越大，因此，彈性越小。同樣，一種材料的極限強(qiáng)度粗略與它的硬度成正比。</p><p>　　機(jī)械加工性能（或切削性）：機(jī)械加工性能是指材料的一種容易被加工的性能。通常，材料越硬，越難以加工。<

94、/p><p>　　壓應(yīng)力和剪應(yīng)力:除抗拉的試驗之外，還有其它一些可以提供有用信息的靜載荷的實驗類型。</p><p>　　壓縮測試：大多數(shù)可延展材料大約有相同特性，當(dāng)它們處于受壓狀態(tài)的緊張狀態(tài)時。極限強(qiáng)度，無論如何，不能夠被用于評價壓力狀態(tài)。當(dāng)一件具有可延展性的樣品受壓發(fā)生塑性變形時，材料的其它部分會凸出來，但是在這種緊張的狀態(tài)下，材料通常不會發(fā)生物理上的破裂。因此，一種可延展的材料通常是由于

95、變形受壓而損壞的，并不是壓力的原因。 </p><p>　　剪應(yīng)力測試：軸，螺釘，鉚釘和焊接件被用這樣一種方式定位以致于生產(chǎn)了剪應(yīng)力。一張抗拉試驗的試驗圖紙就可以說明問題。當(dāng)壓力大到可以使材料發(fā)生永久變形或發(fā)生破壞時，這時的壓力就被定義為極限剪切強(qiáng)度。極限剪切強(qiáng)度，無論如何，不等于處于緊張狀態(tài)的極限強(qiáng)度。例如，以鋼的材料為例，最后的剪切強(qiáng)度是處于緊張狀態(tài)大約極限強(qiáng)度的75%。當(dāng)在機(jī)器零部件里遇到剪應(yīng)力時，這個差別

96、就一定要考慮到了。</p><p>　　動力載荷:不會在各種不同的形式的力之間不停發(fā)生變化的作用力被叫作靜載荷或者穩(wěn)定載荷。此外，我們通常也把很少發(fā)生變化的作用力叫作靜載荷。在拉伸實驗中，被分次、逐漸的加載的作用力也被叫作靜載荷。</p><p>　　另一方面，在大小和方向上經(jīng)常發(fā)生變化的力則被稱為動載荷。動載荷可以被再細(xì)分為以下的3種類型。</p><p>　　變

97、載荷：所謂變載荷，就是說載荷的大小在變，但是方向不變的載荷。比如說，變載荷會產(chǎn)生忽大忽小的張應(yīng)力，但不會產(chǎn)生壓應(yīng)力。</p><p>　　周期性載荷：像這樣的話，如果大小和方向同時改變，則就是說這種載荷會反復(fù)周期性的產(chǎn)生變化的拉應(yīng)力和壓應(yīng)力，這種現(xiàn)象往往就伴隨著應(yīng)力在方向和大小上的周期性變化。</p><p>　　沖擊載荷：這類載荷是由于沖擊作用產(chǎn)生的。一個例子就是一臺升降機(jī)墜落到位于通道

98、底部的一套彈簧裝置上，這套裝置產(chǎn)生的力會比升降機(jī)本身的重量大上好幾倍。當(dāng)汽車的一個輪胎碰撞到道路上的一個突起或者路上的一個洞時，相同的沖擊荷載的類型也會在汽車的減震器彈簧上發(fā)生。</p><p>　　疲勞失效－疲勞極限線圖</p><p>　　如果材料的某處經(jīng)常會產(chǎn)生大量的周期性作用力，那么在材料的表面就很可能會出現(xiàn)裂縫。裂縫最初是在應(yīng)力超過它極限壓力的地方開始出現(xiàn)的，而通常這往往是有微小

99、的表面缺陷的地方，例如有一處材料出現(xiàn)瑕疵或者一道極小的劃痕。當(dāng)循環(huán)的次數(shù)增加時，最初的裂縫開始在軸的周圍的逐漸產(chǎn)生許多類似的裂縫。所以說，第一道裂縫的意義就是指應(yīng)力集中的地方，它會加速其它裂縫的產(chǎn)生。一旦整個的外圍斗出現(xiàn)了裂縫，裂縫就會開始向軸的中心轉(zhuǎn)移。最后，當(dāng)剩下的固體的內(nèi)部地區(qū)變得足夠小，且當(dāng)壓力超過極限強(qiáng)度時，軸就會突然發(fā)生斷裂。對斷面的檢查可以發(fā)現(xiàn)一種非常有趣的圖案，如圖2.13中所示。外部的一個環(huán)形部分相對光滑一些，因為原來

100、表面上相互交錯的裂縫之間不斷地發(fā)生磨擦導(dǎo)致了這種現(xiàn)象的產(chǎn)生。無論如何，中心部分是粗糙的，表明中心是突然發(fā)生了斷裂，類似于脆性材料斷裂時的現(xiàn)象。</p><p>　　這就表明了一個有趣的事實。當(dāng)正在使用的機(jī)器零件由于靜載荷的原因出現(xiàn)問題時，由于材料具有的延展性，他們通常會發(fā)生一定程度的變形。</p><p>　　盡管許多地由于靜壓力導(dǎo)致的零件故障可以通過頻繁的做實際的觀察并且替換全部發(fā)生變形
